$A$ particle has mass $m$. If its kinetic energy is increased to four times its initial value,what will be the change in its de Broglie wavelength?

  • A
    Remains constant
  • B
    Becomes half
  • C
    Becomes double
  • D
    Becomes $1/\sqrt{2}$ times

The de Broglie wavelength of a proton accelerated by a potential difference of $100 \ V$ is $\lambda_0$. If an alpha particle is accelerated by the same potential difference,its de Broglie wavelength will be:

$A$ particle of mass $M$ at rest decays into two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$,having non-zero velocities. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particles,$\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$ is

The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of $10^{-15} \;m$ or less. This structure was first probed in early $1970s$ using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford,$USA$. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron $= 0.511 \;MeV$.)

Kinetic energy of a proton is equal to energy $E$ of a photon. Let $\lambda_1$ be the de-Broglie wavelength of the proton and $\lambda_2$ be the wavelength of the photon. If $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \propto E^{n}$,then the value of $n$ is
